This year,
SIGMETRICS is being held as part of FCRC, which runs from June 8 - 16. As
a result there will be many other conferences collocated. The details of
the programs for these other conferences can be found on the
FCRC site.

In this panel discussion, program
directors of federal agencies and senior researchers from academia, industry,
and national labs will give an overview of current research activities and
future research directions in Performance Evaluation. The panelists will
include Frederica Darema from the National Science Foundation, Albert
Greenberg from Microsoft Research, Adolfy Hoisie from Los Alamos National Lab,
and Don Towsley from UMass Amherst. Each will
give short presentations and will respond to questions from the audience.
